Sex...

I have begun to conduct a sort of research on sex. The question differs but it always points back to why does the human race suffer from an uncontrolled desire of sex? I’ve asked various people this question and there have been some that said I can’t find the answer… The fact is that this uncontrolled desire is very simple to analyze. Going to sleep one night I heard a child crying… more like bawling. After further listening to him cry I thought of how this child is going to grow up. Whenever he does something “wrong” he is hit. He will quickly realize that all he is is trouble and will begin to lose his self-love. The physical pains will develop into emotional pains and further into self-inflicted physical/emotional etc. pains. However, deep down inside the silence of his heart lies the desire for love. But how can he recognize it if he has never felt it? The unfaithful, the addicts, the peace-breakers, etc of the world are on this blind-folded chase for “love.” If they knew that love is what lies within each and every one of us and is not something we need to go chasing after… if they knew this then we’d see a world of peace. Sex becomes an uncontrolled desire because it is EVRYWHERE, also because the media that puts it everywhere has made sure to link sex to love, sex=love they say. So for this person who grows up not knowing love, society will take care to answer the question of “What is love and where can I find it?” Those who do not know love will seek it where it cannot be found; this search will be constant and confusing since those who lead it are also blind and confused. The organization I am working does a variety of activities; debates, plays, speeches, etc. which deals with HIV/AIDS awareness. In one of the debates I participated I wished to explore this question with the board of education. We analyzed the rapid increase of HIV in the world and one of the participants said that people “get-around” too much so I asked why is it so difficult for people to be faithful or to simply not have sex? They didn’t know what to say and simply ended up blaming the opposite sex. The confusion the world lives in is so palpable I could have reached out and grabbed it, but then they wouldn’t grow. The wings’ weakness would kill the butterfly, so it’s best left in the cocoon.
With this I would just like to point out the importance of love…self-love. We have all grown up with these physical and emotional hurts tat make us doubt ourSELF, but we just have to remember the purity and love that lies within.
